What Circo knows about city government, even city government in KCMO, would easily fit into a very small thimble.On the other hand, if you want to learn the ropes about giving other people's money away for your own personal benefit, you'll find yourself in exactly the right place.It's really not very hard to see why things are the way they are and getting much, much worse.

I have worked for KCMO and while I am not at the top, I can see it from my pay grade.

We went from the Cauthen area of chaos and ambiguity to the world where we live in now, which is mostly patronage. Schulte is way beyond his depth at this size of an organization, and there really is no one on the Council who has any idea of what a good manager should look like. Burke would have at least known how to manage a city manager, which is lost on this group of electeds. So, they assess him based upon if he makes them feel good about themselves.

The only ones loyal to Schulte in City Hall are ones who owe something to him because he promotes them way above their skill set, and they make him feel good about Troy. It's really the absence of professionalism.

There is an ex building guy who is dumb as dirt, but because he got in front of every success story, Wagner insisted on promoting him. So, it really is about brown-nosing the right person, getting in the right meeting, and making high level people have good self-esteem.

They are also good at writing rules about their own self preservation. Most of them behave as though they can not be canned because they themselves have had influence over writing the rules.

Circo is really no better or worse than any of the others. I can suggest that when this blog does not look at that issue objectively, no credibility is assigned to the criticism. The "open" comment format with loser ass "anonymous" comments that are hateful and just mean spirited drown out those few hoping for change.
